crazy lady chronicles

So I told myself I'm going to blog more often, because I love doing it and it's a great outlet....even if it's a short little quick one without much to it.  So here goes.
This week has just been funny...one thing after another....and I always tell myself to write this shit down so I remember it later!
So Max is saying something new everyday, and while this isn't really funny, it's worth writing about.  Ok so this isn't new (But funny)...so when anybody "passes gas" (if you will)....Max says, "toot!" and then giggles his little head off.  What a boy.  I will never get tired of hearing that.  He also started saying "I love you." So a couple days ago I walked downstairs to say goodnight to the kids (David was putting them to bed).  As I walked into Grace's room I see Max saying "I love you too" to Grace and giving her a hug.  That was the first time I had heard him say that.  Let's just say my heart melted into jelly....and I will never forget that moment.  Ever.
Gabe had a moment worth writing about as well.  He was at a baseball game and hit a super awesome line drive....but it just so happened that it hit a kid smack in the head (Like, the kid had to come out and put ice on it.) Just a disclaimer....the little boy is OK! That being said, when I asked Gabe if he felt bad for the boy he said "Nope." Such a proud mom moment.....NOT.
So a little while later I asked again if he felt bad at all, and he said, "Ok, yeah I kinda felt bad mom......but did you see the hit?" Ok well......that was better than the first answer! He's hilarious...and still hasn't gotten his two front teeth (Ok that was random).... but he lost them months ago!  David thinks when they come in they're going to be huge!  We laugh about it all the time.
And then there's Grace.  I could write a book about this girl.
So today she went to a garage sale in our neighborhood with a couple other friends. She had her little wallet filled with change and she was so excited!  She comes back a little while later beaming!  She walks up, and in her hand is this hideous huge Teddy bear that actually has the year "1990" on it, with the tags still on it.  Not to mention a weird plaid color and shedding like crazy.  David and I just look at each other, trying not to laugh, and before I know what to say, he says to her...."Honey, do you know if they have a return policy?"  No joke.  We looked at each other and laughed....for probably like 20 minutes. It was one of those moments that isn't planned or thought through, but is funny as hell.  Did he just really ask our daughter if the garage sale had a return policy?  Why yes...yes he did.  David does have a pretty good sense of humor.  However, he's the funniest when he isn't actually trying to be funny.  When he does try...he fails miserably.  Turns out Grace only spent 50 cents on the damn thing.

On a side random note....turns out that the cool skateboard thingy that Grace has been wanting to get was not called "whip stitch" after all, but in fact, a "Rip stick." Glad that was cleared up because it felt weird to me.  All of you that sew will get a kick outta that.

On another side note....it's 10:45 at night and I really just want to have a hotdog.  However, I went on a really awesome run tonight with my neighbor and am trying to use some self control.  It's not working.

On that note...goodnight.
